- May 2, 2008 - Game Counter
- So over on Capcom’s blog they were asking people to identify just how many Mega Man games have been made over the years. And you know, I’m a programmer. Programmers never do anything themselves when they can write a program to do it for them.
- April 18, 2008 - Older Games
- Capcom is attempting to make some older titles available in their store inventory lineup. So far Maverick Hunter X and Powered Up have been re-added to the virtual shelves ($19.99!). Hopefully more will be included in the future. You can also find a few older titles in their hot deals section.
- March 13, 2008 - There It Is
- Ah ha, you see, there we go. I figured as soon as I posted something about it, it’d get announced...
- March 6, 2008 - Another Year
- Yes, it’s 2008. Yes, I’m still here. Remember to check the red sidebar on the left for major updates in between announcements of main updates, which I make here or on the Previews page. (Still waiting for them to announce Star Force 2...)
- November 22, 2007 - Capcom Sale
- Capcom’s holding a holiday sale that includes some of their newer Mega Man titles. Just go to the Hot Deals section of their website, buy three or more items on the list, and you get 15% off some already pretty decent prices. Mega Man ZX Advent is on the list (as well as Star Force), so if you haven’t picked it up already, now might be a good time for it. (Even more stunning, Powered Up is going for $19.99 before the discount!)
- November 20, 2007 - Powered Down
- Not long after playing Powered Up, I got the inspiration for this little story. I began writing it down and somehow along the way it turned into a monstrous undertaking that’s presently the longest book in The Series. It’s not really a typical book, but I finally decided to go ahead and post it. You can find it in the Downloads section. Note that it contains very minor spoilers as explained on that page.
On a related note, I want to apologize about Mini-Book 5. I lost a large chunk of the book to a hard drive crash, and I’m the type of person who can’t write the same thing twice. Trying to reproduce the lost sections is just coming out sounding forced. I do still hope to one day finish it, but I don’t know when that will happen.
- October 23, 2007 - Mega Man ZX Advent
- Mega Man ZX Advent has been released in North America. You can find it on Capcom’s site or in retail stores.
- September 19, 2007 - Mega Man Contest
- There’s another contest taking place involving creating a full soundtrack of Mega Man 2 fan music. The best entries will be put on a CD. Check the site for the rules.
- September 18, 2007 - Mega Man Star Force
- The Star Force Game Hints page has been expanded upon, and its Data Base section is now up.
- September 7, 2007 - Mega Man Contest
- There’s an informal Robot Master design contest going on. It’s not a Capcom contest in that your submissions won’t end up in a game (as far as I can tell), but you can win prizes. The contest is a little unclear to me, because “Robot Master” implies original series, yet the prizes are Star Force games, but later on it says “boss monster” so maybe any series will work. Anyway, if you want to enter, you have to do it by tomorrow—sorry, I didn’t hear about it until today.
- August 26, 2007 - Mega Man Star Force
- I have a very preliminary Star Force section up. Sometimes I am wary of putting up half-complete pages because that is in some ways worse than not having anything up at all, but I’ll give it a chance. Before you ask, yes, I will be expanding upon it in the coming days. No, I don’t want any hints or spoilers on the game. Yet.
- August 17, 2007 - Mega Man Site
- Capcom has modified their Mega Man site, which I have a link to in the Links section. The site is entirely different now, with references to their newest titles, as well as new downloads and new Flash games.
- August 8, 2007 - Mega Man Star Force
- Well, Mega Man Star Force is out. Curiously, the Dragon version is an EB/GameStop exclusive. Even Capcom’s own website doesn’t have it. You can get Leo and Pegasus from Capcom’s site though if you know where to look.
- August 3, 2007 - Song of the Whenever
- I’ve decided to do something a little different for the Song of the Whenever. I needed to replay Mega Man ZX from the beginning in order to get to a requested song, so on a whim I decided to just record every song I came across along the way. I’m going to be posting a new song from the game every week or so, in roughly the order that you encounter them in the game. Note that I only have limited space in the Archive, and though I’ve increased my allotment slightly for this project, already I have more songs recorded than will fit, so you’d better snap them up quick because the songs are going to get scrolled off the list quickly for a while.
- July 25, 2007 - Star Force Anime
- The Star Force anime that was made in Japan is being translated and released over here. At first glance it looks like they’ve combined the episodes so as to make them the usual 20-ish minutes in length instead of the original 10. I’ve posted more information on the Cartoons page.
